oh dont worry, crap can and does get in there sometimes

we had a truck that was goin from sydney to brisbane and the thing was gutless...

ended up pulling off the fuel pick up line between the tank and lift pump to find that there was all types of grassy crap comin out of the fuel tank

Dunno what fuel has been used in it, fuel smells off as u prob throw a match in the tank and it one blow up it's that old.. Car has been sitting for about 2yrs the filter on the fuel

pump has fallen apart as well, but I live in darwin and i don't know anyone that does it up here.. I was thinking blast it with water and some cleaning stuff and let it sit for a couple of days.. Dunno how well that will work tho

caustic soda will clean it up, pressure cleaning wont get everywhere in a baffled tank ,done it with 2 tanks now on cars that have sat around for a few years and the grunge was so bad that it seized the pumps,if you have access to compressed air then do the lines(feed and return)and change the filter while the tank is out, you will need bout 300~400 grams of the stuff to do it properly , read safety instuctions carefully or you wilbe sorry, PM me if you would like more details

Roundup weed killer :D

Definitely will fix his grassy problem, my grandad spilt some on our grass and now theres just a big dead patch in the middle of our backyard. Dont think it'll be growing back anytime soon either.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
